Title: Self-wringing mops
IPC: A47L13/146
Filed: 1949-04-29
Abstract: 662,797. Self-wringing mops. GREENLEAF, N. B. April 29, 1949, [Dec. 21, 1948], No. 11516/49. Class 19 A mop of the self-wringing type comprising wringer element hinged directly to a handle-carrying mophead and swingable from an upright position to compress a compressible absorbent mopping element secured to the mophead and a handle for the mop pivoted to said mophead and swingable from an upright position to a position against mophead in opposing relation and inclined at an acute angle to said wringer element when swung to position to compress or wring the mopping element. In the Figures the mophead comprises a flat plate 1, and its longitudinal edges are rolled to form channels 2. Metal lugs 3 are stamped up from the metal of the plate to engage a pivot pin 6'supported by the handle socket 5. The plate 1 may'be deformed to lock the pivot pin against displacement. An upstanding stop 9 is formed from the metal of plate 1 and limits pivotal movement of the handle socket 5. The mopping element 11 is of absorbent sponge-material, preferably cellulose sponge, and is in the form of a quadrangular block bevelled inwardly so that the thickness of the mopping element is greater at the forward edge than at the rear. Secured to the upper inclined face 12 of the mopping element is a relatively stiff fabric 13 which is adhered to the sponge material by a high temperature resistant adhesive, such as cellulose acetate, and this fabric extends beyond the forward upper edge of the mopping element, folding over it to enclose a fold of the mopping element as at 14. Adhered to the fabric backing 13 is a metal backing plate 15, the rearward longitudinal edge of which is rolled as at 16 and extends over the rearward upper. edge of the mopping element while the forward edge is elevated above the fabric 13 and is rolled to provide the guide edge 17. The guide edges 16 and 17 engage under and interlock with the channels 2 of the flat plate 1 to provide a sliding interlock between the mopping element and mophead. To lock the mopping element normally to assembled position the metal of the backing plate 15 is formed with stamped out resilient tongues 18 which are displaced above the plane of the backing plate and engage in indentures 19 to prevent longitudinal displacement. The spring tongues 18 resiliently engage in the indentions to effect the locking action as the mopping element is slid into the assembled position. The position of the pressure plate hinge formed by portions 20 of the longitudinal rearward edge 2 of the plate 1 being extended downward and rolled to make the hinge barrels limits the swinging movement of the presser plate 11 upward and forward when the mopping element is squeezed. The presser plate may, if desired, be hinged to the backing plate 15 of the mopping element, in which case the material of the mophead is formed into the hinge barrels. Specifications 659,511 and 659,943 are referred to.

Title: Improvements in vapour fed heating systems employing hot circulating liquids
IPC: F24D9/00
Filed: 1942-08-20
Abstract: 557,606. Heating by hot circulating liquids. KOCH, E. A. J. Aug. 20, 1942, No. 11711. [Classes 64 (i) and 64 (ii)] In a heating system in which liquid in a chamber b is heated by absorption of vapour from a generator a and is then circulated through a radiator or the like f, liquid, equivalent in mass to the vapour, is withdrawn from the return pipe e by pump g and fed to the generator a. Admission of vapour from the generator is controlled by a valve controlled by the temperature of liquid delivered from the chamber b, and return of liquid to the generator from pipe e is controlled by a valve m or by the speed of a pump g controlled by the pressure in chamber b. These controls are such that the pressure in the generator is maintained at a point at which the temperature necessary for the formation of vapour exceeds the temperature of the heated liquid at the point which controls the valve j. The liquid is thus not raised above the boiling point corresponding to its pressure.

Filed: 1968-03-11
Abstract: 1,220,383. Locks. GENERAL ALARM CORP. 11 March, 1968 [15 March, 1967], No. 11821/68. Heading E2A. Lock mechanism comprises cylinder means, a plurality of key slotted locking plugs supported for separate and independent rotation therein and arranged so that access to a second plug is obtainable only via the key slot of a first plug, each of the plugs being lockable against rotation and being unlockable for simultaneous rotation by placement of a proper key within their respective slots, and bolt-actuating means operable only by simultaneous rotation of all the plugs. In the arrangement according to Figs. 1, 2, a lock mechanism comprises plugs 12, 14, 15 each having a key slot 30 and rotatably mounted in a cylinder closed by an end plate 24 and an escutcheon 21. A hardened steel spacer 20 is located between the plug 12 and the escutcheon 21. Each of the plugs is provided with bores 22 for pin tumblers which co-operate with spring loaded tumblers in the cylinder. A bolt operating member 27 is attached to the plug 15, the arrangement being such that all plugs must be operated simultaneously by a single key to free the bolt. In another arrangement, Figs. 3, 5 and 6, comprising two plugs 44, 54 rotatable in cylinders 41, 51 arranged in tandem, a switch 75 for actuating an alarm, is located between adjacent ends of the cylinders and is operated to a closed condition by a cam 61 attached to the plug 44 whenever that plug is moved in either direction from the position in which a follower 76 on the switch is prevented from engagement with a recess 66 on the cam 61 and with a recess 71 of a second cam 69. A pin and slot connection 82, 84 between adjacent end faces of the plugs prevents operation of plug 54 unless plug 44 is also operated. A coaxial sleeve 80 and recess 81 prevents ingress of any fluid which might be used to interfere with the cam or switch operation. In a further arrangement, Figs. 8 and 11 the switch includes a spring- loaded contact 106 in a bore lined with an insulating sleeve 109. The contact 106 cooperated with a contact 112 mounted in an insulated segment 115 of a disc positioned in a slot 113 in the lock cylinder. The segment includes an extension 116 and engages at its lower end, a ball 119. The arrangement is such that relative movement of the lock plugs 92, 94 moves the segment 115 so as to separate the contacts 106, 112 to activate an alarm, the plugs being provided with depressions 125, 126 and 124 respectively beneath the ball 119. Mating depressions 129 at the abutting ends of the plugs constitutes a depression into which the ball drops if the plugs are rotated through 180 degrees by unauthorised means prior to retraction of the bolt. In another arrangement Figs. 15 16 (not shown), the adjacent faces of the plugs are recessed for a ball (144) loaded by a spring plunger which prevents relative rotation of the plugs of the lock.

Filed: 1928-04-23
Abstract: 289,096. Telefunken Ges. f³r Drahtlose Telegraphie. April 21, 1927, [Convention date]. Copying-telegraphs. - In a copying telegraph of the kind in which the point of light is moved transversely across the picture, a picture tape or the like 10 is moved continuously and longitudinally through the apparatus, the tape is bent to lie along the curved surface of a cylinder during its passage through the apparatus, and a point or points of light is rotated coaxially with the cylinder at constant velocity along a circumference of equal diameter to that of the cylinder. The tape is passed through a cylindrical or part cylindrical frame and a centrally mounted prism 1 is rotated concentrically within the frame to divert light 3 from an axial to a radial direction and a lens 7 focuses the light on the tape. As shown the prism diverts light from both axial directions 2, 3 to opposite radial directions and the frame embraces a whole cylinder so that two tapes 10, 11 may be exposed simultaneously. Two diametrically opposed photo-electric cells are carried by the rotating optical system and are alternately switched in effective operation for the same picture by a rotating distributor (Fig. 2, not shown). At the receiver two light relays 4, 5 such as Kerr cells, discharge lamps, or the like are fixedly mounted along the axis of rotation of the optical system and on opposite sides of the exploring path. The light relays may be connected in parallel or may be alternately connected for the same picture by a rotating distributor. Alternatively the light from a single light relay is split up so as to be reflected axially into the optical system from both ends (Fig. 3, not shown). Reflected or other disturbing light is minimized by a screen 12, which may take the form of a cylinder open at one end and containing a conical portion through which the beam is passed (Fig. 4, not shown).
